Problem
Would not drain. Made a grinding sound whenever the drain pump would run.
Tools
Standard hand tools.
Repair & Advice
Dishwasher was full of water after completing a cycle. It made a grinding sound immediately after starting a cycle and at various times throughout the cycle. I took the kick plate off and felt the components underneath to find out which part was making the grinding noise. Good thing it was the drain pump, as the circulation pump is significantly more expensive. Once you determine the drain pump is your problem, its simple to replace: 2 screws, 2 hoses, and 2 wires. The hardest part is disconnecting/reconnecting the water supply and sliding the dishwasher out.

Repair & Advice
This was my first repair of a dishwasher and I did it with my 5 year old, so it took us a bit longer than most, I assume.
